As part of a national event, Walk with Me took place in September, from Rocky Bay grounds in McCabe Street along the foreshore. The unique aspect of this fundraiser is its Ambassadors – our clients. Before the event, participants were able to learn a little about them through the WWM website, and then meet them on the Walk. As Candice Barnes, Channel Nine weather presenter and our fantastic MC explained: Walk with Me brings together people of all abilities in our community, helps to raise much-needed funds and, most importantly, helps break down the barriers to understanding people living with disabilities.
